Getting calmer with a llama

A charity
with the slogan "get calmer with a llama" is offering romantic
country strolls for the lovelorn, leading a llama together around
the picturesque Lake District in northwestern England.

"Chatting
over a llama is certainly a novel way to meet people in a relaxed
environment, and participants can enjoy a romantic picnic
afterwards - carried by the ever obliging llamas in their
backpacks," said owner Mary Walker.

Walker,
whose Lakeland Llamas charity helps the disabled, is keen to assure
lonely hearts that contrary to their bad press, the South American
relatives of the camel do not habitually spit at or bite people but
are in fact friendly and docile.
